Whose fault was it then? Is he a string puppet with a big hand working him from the sky? Of course it's his fault. He consciously did what he did. Does it deserve the punishment it's got? Probably not. Is it an over-reaction all round? Certainly. But it's entirely a situation of his own making. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Gary done this at any time in the last 50 years he would not have had any kind of ban!! However with the Quitongo tribunal still in process the club want to be seen to take action against any complaint made. Agree with your point that he’s responsible for his own actions. Just don’t think any Scottish Football Fan would have thought this would have been a foreseeable reaction. Only last August Football Nation gave a you Airdrie Fan a free jersey for saying on a video clip Airdrie 2 Motherwell 0….. F*#% Motherwell (accompanied by a middle digit). Granted that was funny because it was a wee boy and the dad hastily ended the video message. Even Motherwell fans saw the funny side of it in the Comments Section.

Bit of a sea change in 15 months I don't disagree with anything you've said there. As a parent who has regularly had his own child as a mascot over the years, if the photographer was daft enough to take a photo in front of a crowd, I certainly wouldn't expect anyone banned for making a gesture behind them (and any self respecting photographer these days would have digitally edited it out before publishing it too). My point was in response to @Diamonds02 saying "it's not his fault". Over-reaction or not, it's 100% his fault. I suspect it's just really badly phrased and not really what he meant to say but the notion that anyone else is to blame for it is nonsense.

In fairness, I think it may have been someone with a phone rather than a photographer and do more understandable how it may have happened in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afc88 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I seen it, still confident I try to take the positives 7 points from last 9 with 1 goal against. Aye we have been poor but still think more to come with a couple additions in January. Frizz back fit gabby back fit and the keeper back. We will get better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although finishing in 4th place 21 points behind 2nd and going up via the play offs does sound a good laugh too [emoji1] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was stupid and immature but obviously the punishment doesn't fit the crime. That it is the unfortunate set of circumstances that led to the extreme punishment as opposed to the action itself. Which is why i have sympathy for him (although personally i don't like the way he has handled it since then). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The attendance on Saturday was 1060, decent home support with a small support from Peter head . I was worrying it could be back to the sub 500 days after the weeks events, onwards and upwards 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sage Monkey Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Regarding the ATS vs Deveney debate for the left back slot, In the games I have seen, when ATS plays, he stays very deep and offers absolutely nothing going forward. Deveney is a weaker defender, but is vastly superior going forward. The one to choose should surely depend upon whether you expect to be on the front foot or the back foot. I feel that we ought to be aiming to be on the front foot against anyone in this league, and therefore I prefer Deveney. Possibly in cup games against teams from a higher league, then ATS would be a better choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
